Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 212 Collusion in big things

After Gu Sidao and Pei Xu sat down to discuss, they felt more and more that their choice was correct.

If Pei Xu is determined to sit in that high position, it would be a good thing.

This country needs a wise and capable ruler so that it can continue to exist and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Pei Xu has the people in his heart. Just look at what he did when he went to Jinzhou City.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

Gu Sidao could not stay in Prince Su's mansion for long, for fear of being seen and causing trouble.

Pei Xu naturally knew this, so he didn't keep him.

"Master Gu, take care."

Pei Xu stood up to see him off. Gu Sidao was a talented general, and Pei Xu valued talents the most.

Pei Xu had no intention of winning over the court officials, but if he had the opportunity, he would naturally not refuse, not to mention that it was Gu Jiaorong who took the initiative to help him.

If Pei Xu were to refuse even this, he would be too stupid.

Gu Sidao bowed and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to see me off. It would be bad if outsiders saw us."

They are not the kind of people who care about empty formalities, let alone when there are huge benefits in front of them.

Although the prince is dead, the influence he had on her daughter has not been completely eliminated. Even if Gu Sidao doesn't consider herself, she has to consider her daughter.

Now that he has boarded Pei Xu's big ship, if his status rises in the future, even if more people know about the past affair between his daughter and the prince, they will still come to propose marriage.

Gu Sidao felt sorry for his daughter and was unwilling to marry her off easily.

As a father, he naturally had to find a good marriage for his daughter so that she could live a happy life.

Although her daughter now seemed to have gotten rid of the shadow of the prince, she knew that her daughter was not happy.

As a father, Gu Sidao had nothing to say, but he was very worried.

Pei Xu knew what Gu Sidao was thinking and didn't mind him taking advantage of him. After all, it was a mutually beneficial situation for them.

After seeing Gu Sidao off, Pei Xu went back to Jiaorong's yard to see the child.

Now he has also become a daughter slave. As long as he thinks about his daughter, he can understand Gu Sidao's behavior.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, Gu Jiaorong and the children turned around and looked at him.

"Is the prince done yet?"

Gu Jiaorong spoke first. It was she who arranged the collaboration between Gu Sidao and Pei Xu, so it was hard for her to say that she didn't care at all.

Pei Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Gu Sidao has already returned. All we have to do now is wait for the news from the palace before we can take action. You and the children should stay at home until then. As long as you don't leave the palace, you will be safe."

He had already arranged everything and would never allow anyone to hurt the people he cared about.

Gu Jiaorong had no objection to this. She was so eager to return to the capital just to get Pei Xu's protection.

"Your Highness has said this several times, and I have already kept it in mind."

Gu Jiaorong responded with her eyes curved. She did not mind Pei Xu's nagging, because every time Pei Xu naggled, it proved that he cared about Gu Jiaorong.

Perhaps it was fate, all preparations had been made, and the news from Pei Xu and others finally arrived in the evening.

Pei Yunqing took action against the emperor, so everything should have come to a conclusion in the next two days.

Pei Xu's eyes were deep, but he didn't say these words out loud.

Gu Jiaorong already has enough trouble taking care of two children now, and he doesn't want to make her work any harder.

.

Just as Pei Xu had expected, on the next day, news of the emperor's death spread from the palace.

As the eldest prince, Pei Yunqing naturally began to deal with the emperor's funeral.

But before that, he had to sit on the throne.

It was at this time that Pei Xu appeared to stop him. No one would have thought that Pei Xu had endured for so long just for today. The court was suddenly in chaos.

Gu Jiaorong and her two children lived a peaceful life in the palace, unaffected at all.

Only after the dust settled did Gu Jiaorong breathe a sigh of relief.

But she also knew that Pei Xu would eventually follow the path of the novel's ending. After Pei Yunqing's defeat, he became the only heir of the Pei family, and his ascension to the throne was legitimate. Moreover, Pei Xu was indeed more outstanding than those princes, and he also had the support of Gu Sidao and others.

"Auntie, Miss Gu is here."

Yueyan knew more about what happened between Gu Jiaorong and Gu Fuying than Shaoyao and the others, so when Gu Fuying came to visit, she went to Yueyan to inform her.

Gu Jiaorong knew that she came this time for some reason, so she didn't refuse.

"Please come over, Miss Gu."

Gu Jiaorong handed the child to the wet nurse and Shaoyao, while Yueyan went to bring Gu Fuying over and stayed to serve her.

Gu Fuying came quickly and greeted Gu Jiaorong with a smile.

"Auntie Gu, it's been a long time since we last met. You've become more and more popular now. I'm afraid it won't be as easy as it is today if I want to see you again in the future."

Gu Fuying's words were not sarcastic, but the truth.

Pei Xu became the emperor. Even if Gu Jiaorong could not become the empress, she was still a favorite concubine and the mother of the emperor's eldest son and the little princess. From then on, she was above everyone else.

Gu Jiaorong understood what she meant, but she wasn't very happy either.

Since Pei Xu has become the emperor, he will inevitably have to accept new people into the palace. Who will remember her as an old friend by then?

If it were just that, she wouldn't mind, but she was only worried that the new person wouldn't be able to accommodate two children.

In ordinary wealthy families, sons are usually born first by the mistress of the house before the concubines are allowed to give birth. But now Gu Jiaorong is helpless and will not be as young as new people in the future. There are all kinds of ways to compete for favor in the palace. If those people make moves on the child, Gu Jiaorong cannot guarantee that she can keep an eye on it all the time to prevent anything from happening.

Therefore, she did not think that she would have a glorious future. She only hoped that Pei Xu would remember their old friendship and show more love to the child even if he changed his mind in the future.

If Gu Jiaorong hadn't had this worry, she wouldn't have brought her child to see Pei Xu every day after returning to the capital.

He wanted Pei Xu to give him more love so that he wouldn't take it back easily.

After all, these two children are special and were born in his expectation.

"Then I'll take advantage of Miss Gu's good wishes."

Gu Jiaorong naturally would not complain to Gu Fuying, so she responded to her words with a smile.

Seeing that Gu Jiaorong had no intention of saying more, Gu Fuying did not continue the topic. After all, the friendship between the two of them was not that deep.

So, Gu Fuying began to talk about the purpose of his visit.

"I came here today, firstly to congratulate Aunt Gu, and secondly to say goodbye to her. Aunt Gu will be moving into the palace in a few days. Even if I wanted to see you, I'm afraid I won't have the chance. Thank you so much for waking me up. I was able to think more positively. Otherwise, I don't know what stupid thing I would have done. You would have let my parents down for raising me."

Gu Fuying paused here, and there seemed to be some sadness in her expression, but it quickly dissipated.

"After the new emperor ascends the throne, my father will request permission to be transferred out of the capital."
